Abstract :
The hydrogen economy is an inevitable energy system of the future where the available energy sources (preferably
the renewable ones) will be used to generate hydrogen and electricity as energy carriers, which are capable of satisfying
all the energy needs of human civilization. The transition to a hydrogen economy may have already begun. This paper
presents a review of hydrogen energy technologies, namely technologies for hydrogen production, storage, distribution,
and utilization. Possibilities for utilization of wind energy to generate hydrogen are discussed in parallel with possibilities
to use hydrogen to enhance wind power competitiveness.
